"Jon, are you okay?" Rhaenys asked as soon as Jon lay down on his bed.

"I'm fine, I just need to rest a little," Jon said calmly, wanting to rest after everything that had happened.

"What is that?" Rhaenys, who was the only one with him in the room, asked as she looked curiously at the strange stone beside the bed.

Jon had returned to the ship after leaving the temple, dismissing all the red men who wanted to follow him, with many rumors swirling that he had caused the comet in the sky.

But he said nothing as he went straight to the room, informing Rhaenys and Ygritte, with the latter joining them later as she was finishing a painting.

"That's something I picked up at the Red Temple. I still need to figure out how it works or what it's for," Jon said, with Rhaenys looking at it curiously before feeling Jon's hands wrapping around her, touching her belly.

"How is it?" he asked with a curious look, checking on the baby.

"I will give birth soon... but I feel much better now that I'm here... So, I'm fine. I've been listening to what people are saying about you, and the guards had some difficulty keeping the people from Volantis away from the ship."

"I saw a lot of things being piled up, from fruits to weapons and other goods at the port..." Jon said, and Rhaenys wanted to laugh.

"You're right, that was the people wanting to give you gifts... they want to please their Azor Ahai," she commented with a smile as her eyes met Jon's.

"Do you believe in that, that I am this prophesied hero?" Jon teased, relaxing into the more light-hearted conversation with his sister-wife.

"I do... after all, you're not exactly normal, are you? Who would have thought I had a brother in the North hiding dragons?" she said, lying beside him.

"Aemon gave me Eragon's egg... so it was luck," Jon said.

"Are you going to find more eggs in that place?" she asked from beside him.

"I hope so... after all, that's where our ancestors lived," Jon commented.

"I wish I could go there so much... it's a shame I can't go too," she said.

"Of course you're not going... it would be too dangerous for you, but I want to find an egg for our child," Jon said as he gently stroked her belly, and Rhaenys shifted to lie on her back against Luffy, settling in for some peace and quiet.

Ygritte joined them at that moment while Jon just wanted to fall asleep, feeling a certain mental exhaustion from his contact with something divine.

And so they slept, while the comet continued to shine, not just over Volantis, but all around the world, with many scholars and religious figures trying to decipher why it had appeared at dusk and what it signified.

Some spoke of the end of the world vanishing, others said it was the return of dragons, others spoke of many other omens, even mentioning the return of Azor Ahai.

Meanwhile, the true cause of this event was sleeping in his bed in the west, among all the people gazing at the sky at that moment, expressing their own opinions.

To the north of the continent of Westeros, near Ártica, more specifically in Winterfell, Bran was looking at the sky with his little brother, Rickon, outside the feast hall, as they had left to see the red comet shining brighter than ever before.
